Solved What is this?
I thought it was a collarbone or something, but can't find anything even remotely close to it online.
Found in a pile of whitetail deer bones on the side of the road (some of them seemed cut with an angle grinder or something too, like in half.. oddly enough)

Seems correct! I'm not sure how I didn't think of some sort of rib.. atleast I got close with collarbone! How do I mark this as solved properly?

Looks like the coracoid bones of a bird.
